Abstract
Examines the history and current state of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which allows military officials to fire service members for revealing their homosexuality. The paper shows how the policy is ineffective and unjust by looking at personal accounts, spending policies of the military, and a wide array of research.
From the Paper
"The exclusion of openly homosexual individuals from military service reveals homophobic undercurrents to society, as well as raises questions about militarism being above the law. During the Clinton administration, President Bill Clinton attempted to overthrow the ban restricting gay and lesbian members from joining the army and allow them to serve openly. However, after "having promised in his campaign to extend this civil right to gays and lesbians, Clinton faced a difficult challenge when he attempted to fulfill his pledge, opposed as he was by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and prominent members of Congress" (Belkin 1). Instead, in 1993 Clinton passed the "National Defense Authorization Act" (Belkin 1), better known as the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue" policy, which allows homosexual people to serve in the army as long as they do not reveal their queer sexual orientation or engage in so-called "homosexual conduct.""

Abstract
This paper analyzes the impact of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on homosexuals in the military and considers policy alternatives.

From the Paper
"It is critical that the legislation that will replace Don't Ask Don't Tell meet all of our policy objectives. For this to occur we need to make sure that the issue has been given adequate study. The sensitive nature of the subject demands that all possible objections and problems be met with informed, reasoned responses immediately. At present, we are not convinced that this is the case - the focus seems more on repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell than on how it would be replaced."

Don't Ask Don't Tell, 2002.
This paper examines the policy adopted by the U.S. military regarding gays - that if they do not openly announce their sexual orientation, they can not be dismissed.
2,054 words (approx. 8.2 pages), 9 sources, MLA, AU$ 83.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues for the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy claiming that even though it may be considered an infringement on human rights and freedom of expression, it protects the rights of the rest of the military and opens a loophole for gay men to serve in the armed forces. It discusses how other countries have successfully integrated gay men into their militaries and compares the treatment of other "minority" groups in the military.
From the Paper
"Under the terms of the Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell policy, military personnel are not asked about their sexual orientation and are not discharged because they are gay. However, gays can be discharged if they either acknowledge their homosexuality by word or deed or if they engage in sexual conduct with a member of the same sex. Gay advocates believe that this policy fosters discrimination against gays in the military. While the policy is by no means an ideal, it does represent the best option for the military at this point in time. The military isn?t noted for facilitating rapid policy change, rather it takes place gradually over time. This coupled with strong anti-gay prejudices and the military?s lack of knowledge and resources for coping with the problem make the Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell policy a suitable foundation for facilitating further change in the future."

It Ain?t Standard So it Ain?t No Good, 2002.
A study of the deconstruction of standard English, and a debate on whether or not such a standard is effective.
1,000 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper debates the existence of a standard grammatically correct English language. It describes that English, like all languages, is continually and constantly changing. The author argues that language is constantly changing, because it is as alive and organic as the people speaking it. The paper does establish that written English has a more established set of rules that is taught in academic institutions than the spoken language.
From the Paper
"A debate rages across the worlds of lexicographers, authors, professors and creators of dictionaries alike: what is ?standard English?? The question is, of course, oversimplified. The standardization of any language involves ??a uniformity of orthographic, typographic, grammatical and lexical practices,? and so one might research the subject of language standardization for years to no conclusion specific or accepted enough to answer the posed question (Davis 69). Some have attempted ambiguous conclusions, including linguist Peter Trudgill who said, ?Standard English is that variety of English which is usually used in print, and which is normally taught in schools and to non-native speakers learning the language."

D. H. Lawrence and Freud, 2002.

Abstract
This paper attempts to take a psychoanalytical view of the work of the novelist D. H. Lawrence and discusses the underlying reasons for the obscenities in some of his works such as "The Rainbow" which was was prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act and destroyed by order of the court. It evaluates whether Freud's two books, "Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious" and "The Fantasia" which were published in the two years following Lawrence's success in finally securing the publication of "Women in Love", are, in part, explanations--perhaps even justifications--of that shocking book and of other facets of his literary production up to that point. It examines how the two books lay out the views on human psychology and the promptings of the unconscious that had contributed so much to the underlying scheme of "Women in Love" and others.
From the Paper
"The characters in Women in Love were deliberately created in a way that rejected, as Lawrence put it, "the old stable ego of the character" and plumbed, instead, the depths of the unconscious (quoted in Kinkead-Weekes xiv). These characters were subject to change in accordance with the pull of forces and drives which they only partially comprehended but were acutely interested in understanding more fully. They were, and, as Lawrence suggested, we all are, "unstable and governed by subterranean impulse" while moving through lives that are in constant flux--ideas which his readers "found much more threatening or even outrageous than mere sexual explicitness" (Kinkead-Weekes xiv). The basic difficulty of expressing such ideas through the construction of literary characters and finding the language that was best suited to this purpose would have made the composition of Women in Love difficult enough for a writer who believed that his book could be published. But Lawrence, in spite of all his difficulties, was intensely moved and fascinated by the process of writing that spurred him to go deeper into the unconscious than, he believed, anyone had delved before."

Lawrence and Golding, 2005.
An analysis of the function and significance of landscape in literary works by D.H. Lawrence and William Golding.

Abstract
This paper explores the literary use of landscape in D.H. Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers" and in William Golding's "Pincher Martin". The paper claims that both Lawrence and Golding manipulate landscape for a specific purpose in their works. The paper explores both of these novels, commenting upon the stylistic uses of landscape, a literary device that may be employed towards the fulfillment of a particular artistic theme. Both D.H. Lawrence and William Golding make use of landscape in this fashion. Citing many specific examples from the novels, and drawing upon a wealth of bibliographic resources, the paper is relevant to any discussion of Lawrence, Golding or twentieth century literature.
From the Paper
"D.H. Lawrence's 1913 novel, Sons and Lovers, is set in the British Midlands at the turn of the twentieth century (Lawrence 9). This is a region in central England that was, at the time the novel is set, becoming highly industrialized. Factories, coal pits, and squalid row houses were plentiful. "We are in the northern Midlands at the turn of the century, seeing the daily life of the mining community through the eyes of one of its children, and seen with such intensity and clarity, especially in the first of three parts, that the reader feels in direct contact with life (Black 151). Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest is close by the busy industrial city of Nottingham, where Paul Morel obtains employment, and the river Trent, a significant piece of landscape in Lawrence's novel, swirls its way from the city through the wide-open country hills and vales. Sons and Lovers continually contrasts the sensuous, natural environment with that of the cold, drab monuments of industrial town and city life, providing the reader a vivid sense of the times."

Abstract
This paper discusses how David Lean, the director of "Lawrence of Arabia", provides a cultural integration within his scene transition. It explores how Lawrence, played by Peter O'Toole, becomes the central figure that binds British and Arabian cultures into a single entity. The paper examines the various scenes that Lean presents in various stages of the film. It highlights how Lawrence slowly becomes a more spiritually awakened man who is willing to drop many stereotypes about the Arabs and bring greater unity to their tribal factions.
From the Paper
"This film study will analyze the theme of cultural diversity in the film: Lawrence of Arabia, directed by David Lean. By analyzing the relationships that Lawrence (peter O'Toole) has with the Arabians that he comes into contact with his travels, this film provides cinematic techniques that transition his cultural integration into Arabic society. By creating a scene analysis of each of David Lean's transitions from Lawrence's own native culture into Arabic, one can realize the spiritual and cultural significance of this extraordinary cinematic biography of this British hero. In beginning, transition between scenes provides a context into which one is to view Lawrence's development from an Englishman--to a virtual member of Arabic society. Asher (1998) defines Lawrence's personal affiliation with Arabic culture through his physician care of them ..."

Hades in Toyland: D.H. Lawrence's "The Rocking Horse Winner".
This paper discusses D. H. Lawrence?s use of childhood symbols as metaphors in an adult world in his book, "The Rocking-Horse Winner?.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines D. H. Lawrence?s use of a fairy tale structure to enhance the ironic tone of the story,?The Rocking-Horse Winner?, by controlling three critical literary elements: plot, allusion, and symbolism. The author points out that Lawrence effectively uses the irony of the fairy tale structure to show how children can be overburdened and destroyed when the problems of the adult world, such as obsession, greed and jealousy, are transferred to the child?s world. The paper concludes that, although Lawrence is clearly a master writer, perhaps a writer with a different style, such as O. Henry, could take the same subject matter and write a story without the tragic overtones that are characteristic of ?The Rocking-Horse Winner?.
From the Paper
"However, even though the parallels are imperfect, they don?t obscure allusions to other stories in the genre. The idea of a ?gift? that is turned against a main character is a theme that recurs throughout the fairy tale and myth genres. The story of King Midas is about a gift that is turned into a curse. His greed for gold is turned into a ?golden touch? that destroys everything and everyone he holds dear. Likewise, Paul?s gift of special knowledge from the rocking horse is turned against him when his mother spends the money he wins at the races faster than he can win it."

Abstract
This paper presents a case study of the company, Lawrence Sports. It discusses the need for the company to work on its capital management as an opportunity to better serve its stakeholders and improve its current economic standing. The paper then benchmarks other companies such as the Ford Motor Company and Toyota Motor Corporation, compared to Lawrence Sports.
From the Paper
"By benchmarking other companies, Lawrence Sports is providing for its future by taking care of the present by implementing an effective working capital management system. By doing that, the company has control over its working capital. Furthermore, with cash balances and marketable securities, the company can begin to notice small changes that can make a difference. A good example of this would be a credit analysis of a potential customer that would down size the uncollectible accounts receivable accounts and allow Lawrence to feel more comfortable extending credit to customers (Lawrence Sports)."

Short Term Financing
Metrics
Ethical Implications
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For instance, changes in the cash balance requirements include establishing a reserve fund for emergencies, and shifting away from a monthly cash budget to a weekly cash budget. Changes in credit management involve speeding up the collection of receivables, negotiating better prices of goods, and initiating better inventory-management practices. Changes in the supplier negotiation component of the policy include establishing bilateral terms of payables and receivables and initiating a goods-inspection procedure. Changes in short term financing aims to move the company away from bank-borrowing to securitization. In a change of pace, Lawrence Sports will engage the money market forum by issuing commercial paper and medium-term notes. Lastly, the policy will be heavily scrutinized by changes made to the metrics component; which includes the establishment of a quality-assurance program and the sharing of financial records among the key business partners."

Abstract
The paper states that D.H. Lawrence's characterizations make the reader understand and even sympathize with the characters. The author feels that the characters are disturbing; and yet they are real with real problems and real neuroses. The paper concludes that Lawrence's could be the people next door and that is what makes the story understandable.
From the Paper
"Lawrence creates unusual and yet somehow endearing characters and makes the reader care about them, and what happens to them. "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" is no exception. Mabel Pervin is the heroine of this novel, but she is a desperately unhappy woman, ashamed of her poverty, and sick to death of caring for her rather oafish brothers. Her only joy is taking care of her mother's grave, where she feels "secure," even though others can watch her as she works. "

Abstract
This paper discusses one of D.H. Lawrence's literary works, "Tickets, Please" which illustrates the phenomenon of women taking the place of men in the work force, during war time.

In this story the representation of the ?other? is the whole staff of the tram system. The staff consists of mostly crippled young men and girls who would normally not be working at all. In this story the girls fight back from the treatment they receive as well as from the emotional and social circumstances of the war."

"The St. Lawrence and the Saguenay", 2008.

Abstract
The paper analyzes how Charles Sangster in "The St. Lawrence and the Saguenay" portrays the relationship of nineteenth century Canadians to the natural world. The paper examines Sangster's vivid rhetoric and shows how it captures the sublime aspects of the St Lawrence region. The paper also points out Sangster's determination to impress upon the reader the might and majesty of the area that reflected the fears and insecurities of a time wherein the natural world often seemed to be winning its battle against humanity.
From the Paper
"In general, Sangster's poem discusses a journey from Lake Ontario down the St. Lawrence and up the Saguenay River to a location called Trinity Rock. The poem is 110 Spenserian stanzas in length and seems to emphasize the spiritual aspects of traveling through the stunning and unforgettable wilderness of nineteenth century Canada. For instance, when Sangster is called upon by the muses to describe the lightning that sometimes lights up the Canadian skies, he writes, "The finite man falls down to pray/For mercy at his Maker's feet/How vast art thou!/how minute he!/A human tissue which a breath/Can hurl from quickest life to death/An atom to immensity" (Sangster, lines 211-216)."
